5.00My family and I really enjoyed ourselves at the Great Wall last Sunday, and the tour guide, Mr. Mike was very helpful and patient. He explain very well how to navigate the different parts of the Great Wall so that we could have a great time there. Would definitely recommend anyone to consider this MuBus tour package if they are planning to come Beijing.

5.00This off-the-tourist-path hike gives you an amazing experience. Step away from the crowds through a side passage and walk through the bush along unrepaired sections of the wall. Our guide Taka was fabulous, even producing an unexpected refreshment along the way. The chair lift up to the wall and toboggan ride down add fabulous aspects to the adventure. Do note there are a LOT of steps, and one needs to be fit to enjoy.

5.00Cici did a great job in organising our Great Wall tour! She was very professional, friendly and communicated all instructions very clearly. Cici kindly gave us an overview of the history of the Great Wall on the way there too. She was very friendly and gave us other tips for travelling in Beijing. Cici made sure we had a comfortable experience during the challenging hike and did a great job organising our tickets. She is very friendly and did her very best to make it a memorable time for us. I would highly recommend booking any tour with her in the future!
